MyChkBox?

rbuser

Since upgrading to the latest RB I cannot compile one of my projects that
uses the TMyDBCheckBox in one of the reports.

The error is 'Unit myChkBox was compiled with a different version of
ppCtrls.TppCustomComponent'.

I've tried recompiling dclRBU55.dpk in demos\6.RCL and copying the bpl and
dcp files into lib but it doesn't help.

What next?

Paul,
usually the ReportBuilder packages are located in your Windows system
directory. Perhaps you have copies of dclRBU55.BPL and .DCP there?

Thanks for the thought - but I searched the whole system. They only exist
in demos/6.rcl,
lib and delphi\projects\bpl (because of my recompile)

You must be recompiling the myChckBox with a different version of the source
than what you are trying to compile the project with. Did you change
RBuilder\Source? Follow the corrupt intall cleanup instructions to search
you machine for old RB files which would cause this problem. You just need
to find the old files and put them on launch patrol:) Don't delete your
*55* rb files since these are installed correctly.


1. Using the Windows Explorer, search the entire hard drive for all
occurrences of:

dclRB*.bpl
dclRB*.dcp
rb*.bpl
rb*.dcp

2. Delete any occurrences which correspond to the version you are removing.
All packages are named with the convention NN, where the first number
is the ReportBuilder version and the second number is the Delphi version.
Thus, a typical package name for Delphi 5 would be rbRCL45.bpl. The same
package for Delphi 4 would be: rbRCL44.bpl. Check Installing ReportBuilder
for a list of the packages associated with each version.

3. Using the Windows Explorer, search your hard drive for all occurrences
of:

pp*.*
da*.*
ra*.*

4. These are the prefixes used by individual ReportBuilder units. 'pp' is
used for ReportBuilder units, 'da' is used for DADE units, and 'ra' is used
for RAP units. Depending on which ReportBuilder you have (Standard,
Professional or Enterprise) you may not have all of these unit types.



Additional Notes

1. Never have Delphi running when installing ReportBuilder.

2. All ReportBuilder related files should be stored in the root directory
$(DELPHI)\RBuilder.

3. All ReportBuilder run-time packages should be stored in the
Windows\System directory.

4. You should never have ReportBuilder files in Delphi\Lib, Delphi\Bin or
Delphi\Projects\Bpl.
